Luke 24:45-51
-
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
-
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
-
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
-
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
-
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
-
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
-
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
